Don't know if this can be classified as a brave act of the century but there is one piece of play from a Richmond player than stands out in my memory and made a huge impression on me.
I don't remember the match or even if we won or not, but I can clearly remember Michael Gale, running back with the flight of the ball, attempting to take an important defensive mark. He was completely pole-axed by an opposition player coming the other way. I knew it was going to happen, I'm damn sure Michael knew it was going to happen, but he didn't once stop or slow down or take his eye off the ball. Broke his collar bone.
Whenever I think of brave pieces of play I always thing of that.
